My Future…?

Well, I’m looking to go to college for either being a historian or a history teacher… something like that. I’m just waiting on MATC to get back to me about it. Wish me luck.

Origin of Life Metaphor.

Picture a vast kitchen, filled with every ingredient you can imagine. Now picture if you threw these ingredients all over the room, coating every surface and mixing them all together. In some places they could conceivably come together and make the mixture for chocolate frosting. In others they could become bread or chicken noodle soup or any type of food. In the same way, all the ingredients for planets existed in the universe and came together in various areas, and on our Earth, we were lucky to have just the right ingredients come together to create life.

My NaNoWriMo Novel Synopsis.

“An aging flower child and multi-billionaire, who is a born-again and very zealous Christian, decides to invest his enormous wealth into creating a tropical paradise in a giant dome. It is meant to recreate the biblical garden of Eden, where it will be home to a select few people, who will live as Adam and Eve did: nude, free from sin and shame, and totally committed to a life of naturalism and peace. Things go well, but not for long…”

Stay tuned for the release of the book itself – when it’s done, hopefully by November 30th, I’ll put the whole thing up here, each chapter with its own page.

National Novel Writing Month!

National Novel Writing Month, or NaNoWriMo, takes place from November 1st to November 30th. The goal is to start fresh and write an entire 50k+ word novel in one month.

I’m doing it, and I hope you all will, too. There’s nothing like writing a story to keep your brain active and test your creative limits. I’ll be posting my progress here as well as on the official site, nanowrimo.org.

What will my book be about? Well, that’s something I’ll have to figure out before November 1st. Good luck to all participating!

Change.

When every day is the same
change everything

River Flows.

the river flows softly through the forest
it comes from the mountain
like all good things of this earth

i fill my water skin and drink
such a simple thing
fueling all complexity

onward now to the hills
where lies my destiny
one day i’ll find the river again

Genesis.

alpha poetry
rhythms of rhyme and reason
infinity in the ocean void
flowers falling around your feet

falling through the silver rings
one after another
into the rushing river beneath the earth
and there they wrought life itself
from the very energy of existence
from the very existence of energy
from you

Rainy Glen.

a waterfall of sound
crashes through my head
but still i breathe
the deepest breath i can
a symphony of voices
singing out in gentle rhymes
tells me that i won’t be back again

a door of vines
appears before my eyes
i step inside
and watch the world go by
a window of trees
is opened once again
i look through to see at last
the rainy glen

my world is changing
my cells are rearranging
my soul is yearning for the rain
the plants are growing
the river keeps flowing
my heart and mind are yearning for the rainy glen

Just A Thought.

Infinite joy to those who embrace their Earth Mother. Peace and love to all.

Numbers of Power.

I’ve noticed that lots of important things are odd numbered. Just think of all of them….

- “There can be only one”
- Din, Nayru and Farore
- The Triforce
- Holy trinity
- 13 people in Jesus’ posse (12 disciples and himself)
- One “true” God
- I know 7 is an important number for God
- Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky
- Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone
- Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die
- One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
- Three panel comics
- Three-ring circus

I’m sure there are tons more I can’t think of at the moment. There are dozens of important meanings for every number, including the even ones, but it seems to me like odd-numbered things are somehow more profound. Since I used Lord of the Rings as an example, picture 4 elven rings, or 8 ringwraiths. Since odd numbered things can never be perfectly balanced, I think it brings more of a feeling of power.
